Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 548, really cheap
"Is this also salt?"

An Mur looked at the snow-white, snow-white salt in front of him, and asked in disbelief.

In the past, the salt obtained on the grassland was the same as the salt in Daming. It was sea salt, with large particles, many impurities, and a bitter taste. However, it was still difficult to buy such salt on the grassland.

"Of course, you can try it~"

Zhang An said with a smile.

When An Mur heard this, he dipped his finger in some salt and tasted it, and his eyes couldn't help squinting.

Good salt, the taste is very pure, without a trace of bitterness.

"How much is this salt?"

An Mur hurriedly asked.

"This salt is cheap~"

"Just fifty cents a catty~"

Zhang An said.

"Fifty Wen a catty?"

An Mur was dumbfounded again, this is too cheap, even at the cheapest time in the past, it would cost almost a sheep to exchange for a catty of salt on the grassland.

Now this sheep can be exchanged for almost ten catties of salt, and it is this kind of high-quality snow salt.

"Buy~buy~"

"Give me ten catties of salt, no, I want a hundred catties of salt~"

An Mur said quickly.

"One hundred catties?"

This time it was Zhang An's turn to be dumbfounded. The other party's opening was a hundred catties of salt, which is too arrogant.

"Yes, give me a hundred catties of salt~"

An Mur nodded solemnly and said, the same sentence, such cheap salt, how can I not buy more.

One sheep can be exchanged for ten catties of salt, and one hundred catties is only ten sheep.

"Okay, okay, one hundred catties of salt~"

Zhang An nodded quickly, and asked someone to weigh a hundred catties to An Mur.

"This is the freshest tea brick and teacup this year, and it's also very cheap, three liang of silver a piece~"

After selling out the salt, Zhang An continued to sell it.

"Buy, ten tea bricks~"

An Mur said very proudly that a horse can be exchanged for ten tea bricks, and this tea is very cheap.

People in the grasslands all eat meat. If you eat meat for a long time and don’t eat vegetables and fruits, you will suffer from indigestion. Therefore, tea is also a necessity on the grasslands.

An Mur's family has already run out of tea leaves. They have been eating meat for a long time without tea leaves. Their family has indigestion, so seeing tea leaves is like seeing lifeblood.

In the past, a horse could be exchanged for a tea brick casually, but now a horse can be exchanged for ten tea bricks, and this time the tea bricks look very large and heavy.

"Okay, ten tea bricks~"

"Would you like to look at other things, this is snow sugar, you can taste it, add some sugar to it when drinking tea, it will taste very good."

"It's not expensive. This sugar only costs one tael a catty. It's very sweet. It's the best cane sugar produced in Ryukyu. It's good to buy for your children."

"And these cloths are also very cheap. You only need one tael of silver for a piece of cloth. Buy a few and go back to make new clothes for the children in the family."

"Do you want this mirror?"

"This mirror is expensive, the smallest mirror costs a hundred taels of silver~"

"When our Daming daughters get married, they will always buy this kind of mirror."

"Do you want these grains? Rice, flour, and eating meat every day is also very tiring. Buy some rice, use this small pot, put some water in it to cook porridge, and add some meat. It must be very good."

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. The rice only costs twenty cents a catty, and the white flour is also twenty cents a catty. Your sheep can cost more than twenty cents a catty."

Zhang An kept promoting all the goods brought from Daming. The types of goods were complete and the prices were very reasonable.

Zhang An sells one, and An Mur buys the same one, and he buys a lot of them.

Soon, the cattle, sheep and horses brought by her daughter and son were replaced by iron pots, bags, bags of salt, grain, cloth...

There were so many things that even several of their horses couldn't bring them all back at once.

At the same time, An Mur didn't intend to stop. This time, the Daming businessman brought too many things, and there are many good things that she needs to buy.

"It's so cheap~"

An Mur took his children and rode a lot of things back to the ranch where his home was located. He met other herdsmen along the way and hurriedly spread the word.

When the other herdsmen saw that she had exchanged a few horses, a few cows, and a dozen sheep for so many things, they immediately became overwhelmed.

From all directions, the herdsmen of the Naiman tribe who received the news drove their cattle, sheep and horses towards the headquarters of the Naiman tribe.

Business is booming.

The things are very cheap, the price is very fair, and the quality is very good, and they are all goods that are in short supply on the grassland.

A large number of herdsmen came here with cattle, sheep and horses, and then they returned with a lot of things happily.

Just like An Mur's side, everyone wanted to buy up all the things in the hands of the businessman of Ming Dynasty.

They all felt that there would be no such store after passing this village, and if they didn’t seize the opportunity to buy more, they might never be able to buy such cheap good things again in the future.

An Mur took a lot of things back to his pasture.

Hurry up and get busy.

This time, she was extravagant and used five pots to cook at the same time.

In the largest iron pot, she directly slaughtered a sheep and stewed it with clean water; then used a small pot to get some rice, and added some more water to cook porridge.

One pot starts boiling water directly, ready to be used to make tea; the remaining two pots, one pot is used to stew mutton soup, and the other pot is used to cook noodle soup.

This is the most extravagant time since she was sensible.

She has never seen anyone cook with five pots at once.

It’s meat, soup, rice, and tea, too extravagant.

As the fire burned hotter and hotter, bursts of meaty and fanciful fragrances continued to radiate, and the children beside her had their eyes shining and their mouths drooling.

In the past, when her husband was still there, she went south to plunder every year, and she was always able to grab a lot of good things from Daming.

Daming people are different from them, they eat meat, Daming people eat rice and noodles, noodles are used to make noodle soup, rice is used to cook porridge, both taste great.

There is also salt. The mutton and lamb chops boiled in clear water, sprinkled with a little salt, taste extremely delicious. If you can add some pepper and other seasonings, it will be even more extravagant.

Now, these things are available.

And there are many, looking at the inside of his tent, it is full of good things just exchanged from the Da Ming businessman.

Soon, the water boiled first.

An Mur extravagantly knocked off a large piece of tea bricks and threw it in. With boiling water, the tea leaves gradually bloomed and turned into green leaves. Can't help swallowing.

It's hard to live without tea.

Indigestion, and there is no way to supplement vitamins, and I can't even pull out the tuba.

After the tea was boiled, An Mur immediately added fresh milk. Grassland people must add milk when they drink tea.

The fresh milk and tea are mixed together and continuously boiled. The aroma of tea and milk are mixed together, which makes people feel aroused for a while.

An Mur filled his son with the porcelain cup he bought just now, and then seemed to think of something, and quickly found out the snow-white snow sugar, added a few spoonfuls of snow sugar, and stirred it.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious~"

Her son is not afraid of being hot, just taking a sip, the whole person can't help squinting his eyes, and praised.

Qiqige couldn't wait to drink it. It also added sugar. The aroma of milk, tea, and sugar blended together perfectly and opened up the taste buds.

An Mur smiled, took a sip, and immediately opened his eyes slightly.

I have drunk a lot of milk tea, but this is the first time I have added sugar. I did not expect the taste to be so wonderful.

Soon, the whole pot of milk tea was consumed by their family even the tea leaves.

After drinking the milk tea, the noodle soup and rice porridge are ready again. At the same time, the mutton and mutton soup are already cooked. The whole family is very satisfied after drinking the mutton soup and eating the rice porridge and mutton.

"Maybe it's right to depend on Daming. You don't need to go south to plunder, and you can get these things from the people of Daming. It would be great if you could do it before."

After eating and drinking enough, An Mur couldn't help but think of her husband.

On the grassland, everyone is used to seeing life and death.

The prairie people have long been used to this, and they have already made mental preparations.

Thinking back to the past, every time her husband went south to plunder, she would have to worry about it. Although she was able to reap a lot every time, she went there last year and never came back.

She became a widow, just like countless people in the Naiman tribe. There are many widows and women in the entire Naiman tribe, but there are not many adult men in sight.

In the First World War last year, the vitality of the entire Tatar tribe was severely injured.

Life still has to go on.

After eating and drinking, she started to get busy again.

"Can this wool really be sold for money?"

Soon, when she was arranging the sheepfold, she saw a lot of wool, and she collected the wool with suspicion, all of which were selected wool.

There are too many things like wool on the grasslands, and they are things that no one wants.

When a sheep grows from a lamb to a large sheep, it needs to change its wool many times. Now it is summer, when the lamb grows rapidly, the wool is changed very frequently, and there is a lot of wool.

In the past, the herdsmen on the grassland discarded these wools casually. Only the cashmere of a few lambs would be collected, and only the sheepskins that were peeled off when the sheep were slaughtered would be kept.

I didn't expect these Ming people to beg for wool now. This wool is dirty and messy, what use can it be?

With a trace of puzzlement, An Mur also started to collect wool.

It's useless anyway, so it's nice to be able to change something back.

When she was just shopping, there were still many things she wanted to buy, but she ran out of money.

She planned to collect the wool, catch up with a few cows and horses, and come back in exchange for something.

　Many books also say that the wool of our sheep is too rough to be used for weaving. Uh, it’s fine here~
